The 12-letter furin, only found in the SARS-COV2 in humans, isn't in the Laos bat DNA that is closest to SARS-COV2, so it seems like it could be a smoking gun coming from the Wuhan lab due to this furin marker. Daszak, more than Fauci, seems to have been covering up by omitting obvious events or involvement, however, I am not sure Fauci doesn't carry any fault in what seems to be the carrying out of research that was not supposed to happen that inadvertently led to it making it into the human population.

And just common sense is at play here: Virus breaks out in Wuhan; the Wuhan virology lab that studies corona viruses is nearby; Daszak and the WHO seem to have went into coverup CYA mode; database is taken offline. At what point do people finally say this is the most likely scenario and there should be an investigation into how it happened to prevent it in future, mistake or not, gain-of-function or not, no matter how you define it.
